OT: PP hair loss

I'm shedding like a dog. When did it start and stop for you ladies? My hair was so fine to begin with... and I'm afraid I'm going to have nothing left when this is over and done with. I started shedding around Christmas and I'm now 4 and half months pp.

There are hair tumbleweeds blowing through my house! Lol ;). I would swear all of my hair is falling out. I was expecting it, but this is bananas. My daughter is almost 5 months, so hopefully this insanity hair loss will stop soon. I did notice, however, that as soon as my hair started really falling out, I also dropped about 6lbs. I guess it's all hormone related...

Mine started a couple of months pp, and ended at maybe 9 months. I have long hair, and it was kind of ridiculous around the house. My hair was EVERYWHERE. I have bangs now. They weren't cut as bangs; it's the regrowth of all the hair that fell out. It's better than a few months ago when the regrowth was all sticking straight up because it was do short.

It's supposed to stop once your hormones get back in check. I've had a significant amount of hair loss and talked to my doctor about it. He said it should stop after I am done nursing, but also that it can take up to 3 months after to notice any regrowth. It might be something you mention to your doctor, just to be safe. Thyroid disease can cause hair loss. In the mean time, try using Nioxin. It's supposed to help. GL

I am taking vitamins and the shedding is still crazy! I literally have to sweep my bathroom daily because it is everywhere. I find clumps of hair in all my laundry and random locations throughout my house.

Funny thing ---> a clump of my hair scared the bejesus out of me one day. I saw something moving across the floor towards my foot and thought it was a spider. I screamed and my ODS laughed his butt off because I was frightened by my own hair. Brown hair + brown hardwood floors * bad vision = stupid me.

I started at 4 months pp and it didn't let up until around DD's first birthday. I could have made a wig with all the hair I pulled out of the shower drain. Just wait until it startsp growing back in. My daughter is almost 18 months and my hair is still different lengths. Think of it as a free hair cut with layers ;-)

I buy bottles of it and massage it into my hair root to tip. I leave it in overnight and just shampoo it out the next morning. I do it about once a week. It's very light and non greasy so it washes out easily. Highly recommend it.

I didn't read the other posts, so sorry if this is a repeat! You're only shedding what you were suppose to shed, but didn't, during the pregnancy-you won't go bald, promise! It usually starts 3 months (give or take a few weeks) pp, and can stop anywhere between 4-6 months pp. We get so use to our hair being thicker that it seems like we're loosing it all, but we're not! I'm 2 months pp with my 2nd and it just started up. I have mega thick, curly hair anyway, so there is a TON that comes out!!! Hopefully will stop soon. I think it lasted about a month with my first...
